Sony FX2 vs FX3: Comparison Guide

If you’re looking for a quick answer - here is my take: If you prioritize photo and are looking for a camera that can take video get the FX2. If you prioritize video and take photos here and there, like we do, get the FX3. If you are a serious video production company - don’t expect to rely on that FX2 as your main workhorse to get your job done the right way.

There is no need to rush to the store to replace your FX30 with an FX2. I think there is no harm in doing that because I think there is a better case for comparison between those two cameras vs the FX3 - but that’s for another blog!

Today we are comparing the FX3 and the FX2 so you can make a really informed choice on which will be better for your production needs.

As a video-first production company based in Boston, we’re still team FX3. But let’s be clear: the FX2 is still a very cool camera with serious potential for hybrid shooters, content creators, and anyone who wants a powerful full-frame camera with incredible stills capabilities.

Also… I think the eye piece would drive me absolutely nuts.

Why We’ll Choose the Sony FX3 Over the FX6 for A Shoot

At Bunker Hill Media, we don’t choose our equipment based on what looks the most impressive on a gear list. We choose it based on what helps us move efficiently, tell stories powerfully, and deliver high-quality results for our clients.

Lately, we’ve had more and more people ask us why we shoot on the Sony FX3 so often—especially when the FX6 is considered its “bigger brother.” The answer? While the FX6 is a phenomenal camera (and yes, we use it when the situation calls for it), the FX3 hits a sweet spot that’s ideal for corporate video production, branded content, interviews, and fast-paced event coverage.
